Wait a minute. Are we sure this Congress hasn't actually *created* a "Committee to Help Stamp Out Committees"? http://t.co/CEvddjhpED— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) October 9, 2015
Friday's Mini-Report, 10.9.15
Today's edition of quick hits:
* A change in Syria: "The Pentagon on Friday announced it was ending its failed $500 million program to 'train and equip' Syrian rebels and replacing it with a far less ambitious plan, defense officials said. The 'training' part of the program -- which managed to field only 'four or five' Syrian rebels into the battle against ISIS at a $50 million price tag -- has been halted, according to senior defense officials."
* Capital punishment: "An Arkansas judge has placed a temporary hold on the upcoming executions of eight death row inmates as they challenge the state's lethal injection protocols."
* Related news: "With two dozen scheduled executions in limbo, Ohio sent a forceful letter to Washington on Friday asserting that the state believes it can obtain a lethal-injection drug from overseas without violating any laws."
* Oregon: "President Barack Obama on Friday met with families and survivors of last week's shooting at a community college in Oregon."
* Nobel: "A coalition of labor union leaders, businesspeople, lawyers and human rights activists won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday 'for its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution of 2011.'"
* South Carolina: "The city of North Charleston, South Carolina, agreed Thursday to pay $6.5 million to the family of Walter Scott, the unarmed African-American man who was shot in the back by a white police officer in April, settling a potential lawsuit after six months of negotiations."
* One congressman in particular is going to have an interesting weekend: "House Republicans, struggling to regroup and reunify their conference in the face of a leadership crisis, achieved no new clarity on Friday about who might step forward to claim the speaker's gavel as attention remained focused on Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, who has said repeatedly he does not want the job."
Despite school shootings, new laws face long odds
Many Americans woke up this morning to news of a shooting at an Arizona university that left one person dead and three injured. A few hours later, the public learned of a separate shooting at a Texas university that reportedly killed one person and wounded another. And then a few hours after that there were reports of a shooting at a technical college in Kentucky. [Update: See below]
It's enough to make one wonder if public officials might take some steps to reduce gun violence.
Senate Democrats unveiled plans on Thursday for gun control reforms that include closing background check loopholes, expanding the background check database, and tightening regulations on illegal gun purchases.The push is being led by Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., who on Wednesday sent a letter to their Senate colleagues outlining the proposals. During the press conference the lawmakers recounted deadly mass shootings across the nation over the past several years and stressed that personal conversations with the victims' relatives and friends helped underscore the need for "sensible gun reform legislation."
The package of reforms, which stand no credible chance of success in a Republican-led Congress, would "bolster the background check system by strengthening it and stopping those who try to evade it," and target straw purchases.
The Democratic measures are intended to "echo the failed Manchin-Toomey bill of 2013, bipartisan legislation that called for universal background checks in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre." That bill was derailed by a Republican filibuster.
It was, however, bipartisan, with Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) throwing his support behind the popular reforms. Any chance he might endorse the newly unveiled Democratic proposal?
Ben Carson should probably stop talking about Hitler
It's only natural for presidential candidates to focus on a handful of issues that are of particular importance to them, but Ben Carson's preoccupation with Hitler seems like a bad idea.
In the Republican candidate's new book, Carson argues that German gun-control policies 80 years ago contributed to the Holocaust. Yesterday, Wolf Blitzer asked the retired right-wing neurosurgeon to elaborate on his bizarre thesis.
Carson, a former neurosurgeon, has drawn criticism for invoking the Holocaust when discussing gun control. In an interview Thursday on CNN, Carson said, "the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed," prompting an immediate backlash.
He added, "There's a reason these dictatorial people take the guns first."
A Washington Post piece tried to characterize this nonsense in the most charitable way possible, writing that Carson "has generated headlines repeatedly for speaking his mind."
The problem, of course, is what's actually on Carson's mind. His unguarded qualities may seem refreshing, but when candidates for the nation's highest office make offensive comments divorced from reality, it's not a positive development.
In this case, Jonathan Greenblatt, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, explained in a statement that Carson "has a right to his views on gun control, but the notion that Hitler's gun-control policy contributed to the Holocaust is historically inaccurate." Greenblatt added that "gun control did not cause the Holocaust."
Common sense suggests this would be the point at which Carson walked back his comments, but instead, he said the ADL's reference to historical facts was "total foolishness."
Because, really, who are you going to believe about the Holocaust -- the Anti-Defamation League or an unhinged presidential candidate?

Benghazi panel plagued by partisan disputes
Earlier this week, it became clear that Democrats on the Republicans' Benghazi committee are out of patience. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) accidental honesty may have been the final straw, but the Dems' frustration has been growing steadily for months.
And so, on Monday, all five committee Democrats wrote to Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), warning him that they intend to start unilaterally releasing full, unedited transcripts to the public, providing Americans with information Republicans have tried to keep under wraps.
Dems gave Gowdy five days to get back to them, flagging potentially sensitive information that may need to be redacted. "We do not take this action lightly," they said. "We have held off on taking such action for more than a year, but we will no longer sit and watch selective, out-of-context leaks continue to mischaracterize the testimony the Select Committee has received."
Two days later, Gowdy did, in fact, respond with a lengthy, angry missive. The full, 13-page letter is online here (pdf), and though it's difficult to excerpt, there was one claim raised by the GOP congressman that stood out for me. Responding to Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), Gowdy wrote:
"[I]t is you, not the Republicans, who has selectively leaked information to promote your own false narrative -- that this Committee is political -- or protect Democrat [sic] political figures, when it is a fact Democrats and you are the ones who have treated the Committee as political from the outset."
Or put another way, Gowdy, annoying by accusations that he and his team have been responsible to deceptive leaks, effectively seems to be arguing, "I know you are but what am I?"
Friday's Campaign Round-Up, 10.9.15
Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* In Kentucky's gubernatorial race, Matt Bevin (R) may seem like a ridiculous candidate, but a new Mason-Dixon poll shows him trailing state Attorney General Jack Conway (D) by just two points, 43% to 41%.
* Obviously, this is the right call: "The super PAC working to draft Joe Biden into the 2016 presidential race will not air the emotional 90-second ad they produced this week after the vice president expressed disapproval through an aide."
* Ben Carson, whose bizarre ideas are increasingly alarming, believes Nazi gun control was responsible for the Holocaust.
* On a related note, when the Anti-Defamation League explained that Carson's argument is plainly inaccurate, Carson said the ADL's reference to reality was "total foolishness."
* Among California Republicans, the new Field Poll shows Donald Trump leading the presidential field with 17%. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, meanwhile, are right behind him, at 15% and 13%., respectively.
* Speaking of Fiorina, the inexperienced GOP candidate continues to slowly pick up congressional endorsements. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R) of Nebraska threw his support to Fiorina this week.
Rubio weighs in on possible Russian conflict
As Rachel noted on the show this week, the skies over Syria and its neighbors have been contentious of late. Just this week, Russian jets violated Turkey's air space at least twice, prompting Turkey -- a member of NATO -- to scramble its own jets, intercept the Russian warplanes, and escort them away.
On Wednesday, a U.S. jet bombing ISIS targets in Syria had to reroute its course to avoid Russian warplanes that were flying over the same part of the country.
It's against this backdrop that some presidential candidates -- in both parties -- have raised the prospect of a no-fly zone. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) made the case for the idea in an interview the other day with CNBC's John Harwood.
HARWOOD: You think Putin would back off if we had a no-fly zone?RUBIO: I don't think he's going to go into a safe zone, absolutely. I don't believe he will look for a direct military conflict against the United States in order to go into a safe zone.HARWOOD: What if he was?RUBIO: Well, then you're going to have a problem. But that would be no different than any other adversary.
Harwood suggested Americans might have a problem with the idea of a "hot military conflict with Russia." The far-right senator, who's basing much of his candidacy on national security matters, responded, "Sure, but the consequences of not doing anything would scare [the American people] even more."
I don't think that's true. I'm not an expert on Americans' foreign-policy attitudes, but the prospect of a hot war between the United States and Russia is right up there among the scariest international prospects on the planet.
Rubio clearly doesn't see this dynamic the same way, suggesting that if U.S. forces fired on Russian jets over Syrian skies, it would be "no different than any other adversary."
But Russia isn't just another adversary; it's a nuclear power. Wars between nuclear powers tend to be ... problematic.
Clinton unveils a plan that Wall Street won't like
One of the principal concerns from the left about Hillary Clinton's campaign is that she might be overly friendly towards Wall Street. The Democratic presidential hopeful has been going out of her way to put those fears to rest.
Back in April, a week after her campaign announcement, Clinton told an audience she intended to "take a hard look at what is now being done in the trading world, which is just trading for the sake of trading." That same week, she tapped Gary Gensler, a "former top federal financial regulator and strong advocate for strict Wall Street rules," to be her campaign's CFO.
Yesterday, as MSNBC's Alex Seitz-Wald reported, the Democratic frontrunner "rolled out a comprehensive Wall Street reform plan Thursday promising to crack down on rule breakers in the financial industry and impose new regulations and taxes on large banks to prevent another financial meltdown."
First, it would punish individuals, not just corporations, that violate the law and make sure they face serious penalties, including imprisonment. It would impose a "risk fee" on riskier bets made by the nation's largest banks to discourage over-leveraging among "too-big-to-fail" financial institutions. It would also impose stricter regulations on so-called "shadow banking" and impose a tax on high-frequency trading.Clinton also vows to defend the Dodd-Frank financial reform act passed by Congress in the wake of the financial crisis and strengthen to Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, which was championed by Elizabeth Warren before ran for Senate, along with the Securities and Exchange Commission. She would also restore the law's "swaps push-out" rule, which was removed in a controversial congressional vote last winter. And she would strengthen the so-called Volker Rule, which is meant to prohibit banks from using taxpayer money to make speculative bets.
The entire plan is online at the campaign's website, and to Clinton's credit, it's not brief. It's also not the sort of thing a candidate who's overly cozy with Wall Street would propose.
Jeb Bush balks at Voting Rights push
In March, President Obama delivered a powerful speech in Selma, Alabama, where he, among other things, called for Congress to restore the Voting Rights Act. Former President George W. Bush was on hand for the event, and to his credit, the Republican president who last reauthorized the VRA stood and applauded Obama's call.
If we're looking for areas in which Jeb Bush disagrees with his brother, we appear to have a new addition to the short list.
The former Florida governor appeared yesterday in Iowa and was asked by an audience member about the Voting Rights Act. Jeb Bush responded:
"I think if that it's to reauthorize it to continue to provide regulations on top of states, as though we were living in 1960, because those were basically when many of those rules were put in place, I don't believe that we should do that. There's been dramatic improvement in access to voting -- I mean exponentially better improvement."And I don't think there's a role for the federal government to play in most places -- could be some, but in most places -- where they did have a constructive role in the '60s. So I don't support reauthorizing it as is."
It's safe to say that's not quite what voting-rights advocates hoped to hear from the Republican presidential hopeful.
Ted Cruz starts to make his move
I wouldn't say literally every center-left pundit I know expects Marco Rubio to win the Republicans' 2016 presidential nomination, but it's awfully close to 100%. For most of the political observers I know, it's practically a foregone conclusion -- the pieces have already fallen into place for the far-right Floridian.
Nate Silver recently said, "I sometimes feel with Rubio like he's the contestant on a reality show where it's totally obvious that he's eventually going to win, but the network needs to create dramatic subplots for 17 weeks before it happens."
And all of these assumptions may very well be true. As I argued a month ago, if the Amateur Trio currently leading the GOP polls fades, the race for the Republican nomination is likely to come down to two governors (Jeb Bush and John Kasich) and two senators (Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio). The Florida senator has reason to be optimistic -- Bush is struggling badly, and Kasich is fading.
But there's still that Ted Cruz character out there, and his current standing in the race is largely under-valued.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas brought in more than $12 million for his presidential campaign during the last fund-raising quarter, which ended on September 30, his campaign announced on Thursday. [...]...Mr. Cruz's amount is double what one rival, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, announced raising over the same period, despite Mr. Rubio's popularity among some of the Republican Party's biggest donors. The $12 million figure suggests that Mr. Cruz -- who has battled fiercely with his own party's leaders -- has amassed a committed following of small donors.
Rubio's $6 million quarterly haul is a sharp drop-off from the second quarter. His campaign aides had some excuses, but those same fundraising obstacles applied to Cruz, and he raised twice as much as Rubio did.
The Texas Republican has considerable resources, a real ground game, a credible reputation as an enemy of the GOP establishment, and decent poll numbers that are likely to grow if fickle voters grow tired of the Amateur Trio. Indeed, the senator has carefully positioned himself to benefit from his rivals' eventual decline.
Why shouldn't Cruz be seen as a plausible nominee?
Wanted: One House Speaker (no experience necessary)
When House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) unexpectedly announced his retirement two weeks ago, many on Capitol Hill feared an ugly free-for-all, with a dozen or more House Republicans hoping to take advantage of the unique opportunity.
GOP leaders, desperate to avoid such chaotic circumstances, moved quickly, rallying behind House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). He faced two challengers -- one of whom entered the Speaker's race late -- but the unruly mess of a massive field of candidates never materialized.
Instead, a different kind of unruly mess forced McCarthy to quit.
There's no shortage of questions about what happens now -- to the party, to the country -- but the most immediate question is who will to try to be the next Speaker of the House.
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) threw his hat into the ring yesterday, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is reportedly "considering" it. Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Dan Webster (R-Fla.), both of whom took on McCarthy, are very likely to give it another shot.
Rep. Tom Cole's (R-Okla.) name came up quite a bit yesterday as a more mainstream option, while Reps. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Jeb Hensarling (R-Tex.) heard their names floated.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who resigned in disgrace nearly two decades ago, said yesterday he's open to reclaiming his old post if Republicans rally behind him. (Seriously, that's what he said.)
And while it's certainly possible that one of these men may end up as the GOP's nominee, let's not pretend any of them are at the top of the Republican wish-list. Politico noted the Republican Party's favorite.
It's all about Paul Ryan right now. [...]The Wisconsin Republican is getting bombarded with calls and one-on-one appeals from GOP lawmakers, urging him to be the party's white knight. Boehner has had multiple conversations with the Ways and Means Committee chairman. Even before he dropped his own bid, McCarthy told Ryan he should do it. And the list goes on: House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) spoke to him about it on the House floor, and Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) also has pushed Ryan to reconsider.
Referring to Ryan, Trey Gowdy said, "I have spent more time trying to talk him into running [for Speaker] than I did my wife into marrying me."

Recent Tasting Notes
Thanks for this one, Nicole! One I have been wanting to try for a while! I was worried that steeping two teaspoons of this one would ruin it, but it didn't at all. The way I steeped it, I couldn't imagine it getting any better. The leaves are mostly a bronze gold. The flavor is delicious and complex. The medium amber cup is a delicious Yunnan – honey, sweet potato, hints of something fruity and a lovely almost wine quality. The subtle flavor notes work really well together. I didn't find many chocolate notes, but that isn't to say this is a light flavored tea. It's dark while not getting to chocolate levels. The second steep was a little different, with hints of smokiness and starchy chewy bread notes and also EARTHY somehow. The flavors in the previous steep staying in the background. A tasty tea!
Steep #1 // 2 tsps. // 12 minutes after boiling // 2 1/2 minute steep
Steep #2 // few min a.b. // 3 min
With a extra couple of hours in the morning, I've decided for more tea.
I am getting the hang of this oolong. Its a creamy, vanilla infused brew, but the green/floral note floats by in a very pleasant way.
I woulden't say its "ice cream" exactly, but it is pleasant and good!
When I saw this go up, well, I had to get it. I am a growing fan of oolongs, and oolong ice cream? Ok, sign me up.
It smells beautiful in the sachet, a lovely blend of green and a sugary creamy note, perfumed with vanilla.
I'm going to have to try and tinker around with the brew time, though. I came away with a light and lovely cup of oolong, but not a particular wham of ice cream flavor. I think its in there, though! I'll just work on it!
The leaf smells very green and strongly of authentic vanilla. It's the smell I get when I cook with vanilla beans.
I steeped it as directed, 4 minutes at boiling. As soon as the water hit the sachet the air was infused with the vanilla smell. I steeped it sitting right in front of me so I could enjoy the fragrance for the full steeping time.
The tea was still really hot after four minutes, so I let it sit for a few minutes while I played Operation with the sachet. The leaves had totally filled it during the steep and I could almost hear them yelling, "Let me out!" So I did.
Photos and full review: https://tealover.net/2015/07/steven-smith-teamaker-oolong-ice-cream/
Holy crap, you guys! This tea legit smells and tastes just like ice cream! It totally has that creamy, vanilla flavor to it! I was shocked at how much it tastes like ice cream, I've never tried anything like it. Too bad that it's already out of stock, more people should be able to try it!
I really like it, but it does have that creaminess to it that makes me feel nauseous. I drank a cup of it today, along with another tea at the same time (different cups though…xD) so it kinda broke up the milky flavor so it didn't make me sick. But I still feel like it has that potential. If it does it's gonna have to go on the sale list. :( But I hope not. It's a remarkable tea that is spot on with ice cream. Which I barely eat anymore becuase it always gave me insane heartburn or made me super sick back in the day…well like three years ago constantly, but I've not really been able to have it again since. My pain wasn't absolutely horrible this morning when I was drinking tea though, so that also helped me not so prone to getting sick. I'm gonna try it again. Just have to remember to drink it at a completely safe time for me physically. I really lovee the vanilla flavor in this tea, it's insanely good. I don't wanna give it uppp!
Flavors: Cream, Creamy, Milk, Sweet, Vanilla
Grabbed this one mainly because it was pretty. :) It does keep things hot for a few hours. Not nearly as long as the Ikea thermos but you can't drink directly from the Ikea thermos like you can from this one. I got the one with the sip top. It isn't very watertight either so don't just throw it in a tote bag and hope it stays upright. :) Overall I'm happy with it and it will see a lot of use on road trips.
This came my way via the previous round of the GCTTB. I haven't had a chance to try any Steven Smith Teamaker teas though like most I've drank teas from his other brands, Tazo and Stash. The brewing instructions on the package made me giggle: "Steep 5 minutes while pondering the Earl's affair with the Duchess of Devonshire." Alright then. ;)
It's a fairly standard earl grey though the base is most robust than most, in any event it's quite enjoyable with milk, but I wouldn't consider it to be anything remarkable. It's more the sort of tea that would be a cupboard staple for anyone who wanted a good, basic earl grey.
RIP Steven Smith
Thanks so much scribbles for this sample in our last swap! I like Ceylon tea, and this is a great blend. Through the tea pyramid you can still get a great sense of honey, malt and citrus. I highly recommend following the directions exactly.
Actual review here:
Flavors: Citrus, Honey, Malt, Raisins
I am working my way through my stash of this, and am always hopeful that its going to be better than it is.
My hopes are now, as I move to the bottom of the tin, that I'll get more tea, and a bit less flotsam and jetsam. I love additions to tea, and like floral, but this is just too much. Too many addtions! And they don't seem to be helping. Frustrating.
I can never get this tea to work!
I am one who likes floral tea. Rose teas? Lovely! Especially floral black teas- they can have a gorgeous flavor.
So I really want to like this. This has got chamomile and rose in it, which sounds interesting, but tastes… sour.
Its not unbearable, so I'll work my way through it, but, after being blown away by some of Smith's other special edition teas, I am not very impressed here.
I cannot commit to liking this one. It should be something I really, like, and somehow it just falls short of a full appreciation.
What is it? I love floral teas, so theoretically its not that. The chamomile? Maybe that's whatis giving this the sour note? Argh, tea, behave yourself!
I cannot for the life of me get a handle on this tea. It sounds so good! So interesting!
And yet I cannot make it dance the way I think it should.
Todays brew had an almost sour note, which was annoying. I feel like this could really be something interesting, if only I could work out the secret steeping code.
Next time a shorter steep, and see where that takes me.
Its a week to fiddle with teas that I have not yet made up my mind about, it seems.
This is growing on me. In this steep I'm finding a hint of citrus. Lemon, I think, not bergamot, though I could be wrong.
The rose is only a suggestion, not a full on floral, and the chamomile adds…. well, this I'm not sure on. Its certainly a rounded tea, so manybe the chamomile is what takes the edge off the astringent black base. Hmm.
Overall, my impressions are improving.
Ah thank goodness, I've got internet again! Turns out, my neighbors, who are landscaping, accidentially cut open my cable, so that needs to have replaced. But they've patched me through for now. Huzzah!
In tea news, I still can't make up my mind about this tea. Its a black tea, but you'd almost not know it. Its so delicate, so gentle. I'm torn. Fortunatly I've got a lot of the tea, so I've got a while to make up my mind.
Had been wanting to try this one for a while, now that I've tried it I can't remember quite why I wanted it so badly. It's definitely one of the weirdest teas I've ever tried! I really don't know what to think. 0_0
It's pine-y, kinda peppery, ever so slightly minty, and has some weird other spices going on that I can't pick out. It's seriously so weird. Might be the weirdest one yet!
It's not a horrible weird, but it's not an amazing weird either. I feel like it's the kind of weird that my taste buds will just like start craving randomly sometime for no apparently reason. It's a weird combo of flavors. But part of it kinda reminds me of a certain food. What food is that, you might ask? I don't know. xD But it really does remind me of something.
So yeah, not my kind of tea really. But thank you soo much for letting me try it, Rosehips!! :D :D
Flavors: Mint, Pepper, Pine, Spices, Wood
Basically the Lord Bergamot minus the bergamot. Honestly, not a favorite of mine. The quality is there though. I can totally imagine this being a go-to-tea for others. I still love their sachets, they work wonderfully and are so convenient.
Licorice and Peppermint.
I never thought that those two would mix.
When Rosehips sent me a sample of it, and I smelled the tea bags, I still wasn't sure. But man was I wrong!
Those two flavors together made for an excellent cup! I can't even explain how amazing it was! I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of either of those flavors alone, but I haven't had many teas with those flavors in them. I really never could imagine they would mix so well.
PLUS! It's a chamomile!
I desperately wish that I had tried this before all of this tea was sold out. Now I have to wait a whole 'nother year to get more of this tea! I'm so sad! Thankfully Rosehips was so generous and gave me three tea bags. I will savor the two I have left!
I seriously had such a horrible day yesterday, and an even worse night. This tea was seriously the best part of my entire day last night. It helped me relax and actually smile and feel a little happier inside.
Ahh! I'm just so happy to have gotten to try this! And it really did cheer me up some last night. And writing this makes me smile because I'm really happy that I still have two more tea bags left! I should save them for the really bad days so they will help me feel more relaxed and a bit happier! (: I can't wait till Next Christmas to get more!
Thank you, Rosehips!! I'm so excited and happy about this tea! :D
Flavors: Licorice, Peppermint, Smooth, Sweet
Mmm, I know what you mean about liquorice and peppermint! It sounds really odd, but they work so well together as a tea! I've never tried this particular one, but the Teapigs one is ace :-)
Sample Sipdown!
Had the last of this tea last night. Not bad-all three times I had it it made for enjoyable and relaxing cups. Always happened to be when I needed it the most! I don't think I'd buy this tea in particular, but it was pretty nice. Thanks again for the generous samples, Rosehips!
I really really needed something to calm me down after this morning when I had to go to the dr to have a horrible test done. My body hurts like hell and I can barely swallow. Seriously have been such a mess today.
But this tea.
This tea totally calmed me down when I got home. Hurt tons to swallow, but it was definitely worth it. Helped me to be able to sleep for most of the day. xD Which was good for me because this monitor in my throat is killing me. xD
Also I really do think that the blend of lemon and chamomile is pretty nice in this tea. One tea bag left. :O
Thanks you guys. I'm sure that if the dr lets me come back and get this thing out of my throat himself it will be better. But kinda doubting he will. But fingers crossed! >

The importance of the Texas Supreme Court's opinion, In re Universal Underwriters of Texas Insurance Company, 345 S.W.3d 404 (Tex. 2011), continues to grow as Texas courts face an onslaught of appraisal cases. In re Universal Underwriters involved a petition for writ of mandamus brought by an insurance carrier contending that a trial court had abused its discretion in denying its motion to compel an appraisal and abate a pending lawsuit. The Texas Supreme Court issued an opinion directing the trial court to order appraisal. However, the court found that the trial court's failure to grant the motion to abate the case during appraisal was not subject to mandamus and that the proceedings need not be abated while the appraisal goes forward.
In the subsequent case of In re Certain Underwriters at Lloyds, No. 10-11-00263-CV, 2011 WL 4837869 (Tex. App.—Waco Oct. 12, 2011), the Waco Court of Appeals considered a trial court's repeated denial, on the basis of waiver, of the insurance carrier's motion to compel appraisal. In analyzing the appraisal issue, the Court of Appeals initially noted that "[w]hile trial courts have some discretion as to the timing of an appraisal, they have no discretion to ignore a valid appraisal clause entirely." Id. at *10 (citing State Farm Lloyds v. Johnson, 290 S.W.3d 886, 888 (Tex. 2009)). It further noted that "[i]n order to establish waiver...a party must show that an impasse was reached, and that any failure to demand appraisal within a reasonable time [of the impasse] prejudiced the opposing party."

Good deal
Near Chinatown and Union square
Great little Hotel
I stayed at the Beresford with my two young children and we had a wonderful stay. The hotel stay is friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was fresh and delicious (fruit, pastries, donuts, cereal, coffee), and the location of this hotel is
perfect!!! A quick walk two blocks and you're in the heart of Union Square. The White Horse restaurant in the hotel looks great. The pub was hopping (I didn't go because I was with the kids - but it looked really fun). The restaurant was closed for renovations, but the menu looked great!
I will definitely make this my "go to" place each time I say in SF.
Affordable Price but smokey smell
The hotel is just a minute away from the Powell Street which is the heart of the Union Square, no complain for the special price at $167 including taxes and fees for 2 nights. But the strong smokey smell in the room make you feel uncomfortable,
anyway the hotel is in a good and safe location.
Great hotel andlocation. 3-4 stars hotel
Great hotel, Great room, clean, good breakfast, great location, the room can be a little noisy. depends on where the room is.
Great location great price
The hotel is in a great location. The rooms are small but very clean. The hotel staff were very helpful and polite. I would definitely stay here again for the price and location can't be beat. Also being female I felt safe.
There are several good restaurants within two to three blocks from the hotel. Loris's diner has great breakfast and the little Italian restaurant was very good also.
very good location for the price
We stayed there for 8 nights. We did not like the room which was assigned to us and the staff was very helpfull in helping us to move to another room
It was ok for the month of April
A reasonable option
Small room, noisy street, but clean and friendly staff. About what you should expect for a bargain priced older hotel downtown in a big city.
Everything I Want in a Hotel
I was in town to visit my UCSF student -- did a quick trip in, caught the Bart to downtown, jogged up the hill to the hotel, checked in and jogged back to take a the light rail to UCSU. I got back at 10:00 p.m. was greeted, asked for the key -
which I left so I wouldn't lose it. The desk clerk carded me and I got my key and went to my room and crashed. The next day, I looked around - they place was wonderful, tidy, clean and such a well preserved historic hotel. Staircases everywhere - and an elevator that works like it was installed yesterday. Charming! Breakfast was set up in the adjoining bar - the coffee was great and the baked goods fresh, along with fresh fruit -- I had a wonderful conversation with a woman from Wales and got the impression that the hotel has been discovered by internationals. Then I had a great conversation with the desk clerk - learned that hotel manager has been there for 30 years overseeing housekeeping, breakfast and all the personal touches -- it really shows. I also learned that the bar is a hang-out for local actors. I didn't use the computer -- no there isn't internet in the room but I got what I needed on my phone. And I could have printed my boarding pass in the computer room. This is a hotel that was very reasonably priced -- and will I go back? Definitely!
Great location
Good hotel. Good price. Great location.

"Police departments are using data in a more timely manner and more wisely," he said.
Commissioner Ramsey, a former D.C. police chief, said Philadelphia created patrol beats and checkpoints at the 125 most violent intersections in the city and subsequently experienced a 22 percent reduction in violent crime in those areas. He said he also focused police resources on the most violent police districts at times when violent crimes were most likely to occur.
In another indication of a declining crime rate in 2009, the deaths of police officers in the line of duty was at its lowest number in the past 50 years.
According to a study by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 124 officers were killed while on duty, the lowest number since 1959, when 108 were killed. The study found a 7 percent decline in officer deaths when comparing 2009 with 2008.
But the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund also found reason for concern in 2009, as the number of firearm-related cop killings increased 23 percent from 39 in 2008 to 48 in 2009. The overall decrease was largely driven by a decrease in traffic-related fatalities.
FBI spokesman Bill Carter said the bureau does not generally comment on trends in crime statistics because of the complexity of factors that contribute to them.
"The amount and type of crime varies from place to place depending on a number of factors that affect crime in a particular community. We don't give a single reason why," he said.
Some analysts expected crimes to increase in 2009 because of tough economic times. But James Alan Fox, a professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University in Boston, said the link between the economy and crime is largely a myth.
"All the research on economic indicators and violent crime in particular show there really isn't a link," Mr. Fox said. "People don't essentially become criminals because they are out of a job; the decision to pursue a life of crime is made independently of the economy."
However, Mr. Fox said an indirect connection between the economy and crime can be made in some cases. When the economy lags, he said, fewer resources are available for police budgets and other crime-prevention programs, which can have an impact on crime rates, particularly property offenses.

After M.K. in these debates I am convinced she is another liberal that likes having her ego stroked. Use to like her but now see her in a whole different light.

"There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we can confirm no service member has been charged with an offense."
This is insane! What is there to review? The wack job opened fire on a recruiting station and this LCDR fired back in defense of himself and those around him. The lengths we are forced to go to prevent offending rubbing someone's thin skin the wrong way all in the name of political correctness is BULL!!!

Anything that God made for good in the beginning-Satan tries to destroy. Death was not a part of God's plan until Satan slithered into the garden and deceived Eve. That is his goal; to defile the perfect work of God in every aspect.
The enjoyment of sex between a man and his wife was part of God's perfect plan for the purpose of procreation but Satan saw that it was good and said " I've got to defile that." That's why you now have the sick, twisted and sexually immoral types in the world.
[17] July 22, 2015 at 1:27pm
I think the point they are trying to make here ( at least I see it ) is that in today's world, even a man of strong moral conviction can struggle because what is permitted on television, in theaters, media of all types, etc. can test that man's morals to it's breaking point because God did not intend for young women to go around scantily clad in public. Man's visual desire was to be for his wife in the privacy of their marriage; not the girl walking down the road in booty shorts. Just my take on the article.

This is the most powerful photo from the protest I have seen yet. If there is one way to bring down the walls of racism, this is how it is done. If only the people trying to shout each other down in the street would respect humanity instead of skin color, they might find that true power is found in the heart and not in slogans and images. This is how hearts and minds are changed

Since I was young I have loved women's feet. Especially in pantyhose. It's almost become an obsession. Do women like men touching their feet and toes?

which way below is more efficient to accomplish this task. I want to loop through a model, check if a list made up of integer vals associated with each model_id is greater than 0. If it is then take the corresponding models into a list of models.
@models = Model.find(:all).collect{|m| m }.reject{ |i| modellist[i.id] < 1 }
or like this
finalModels = []
Model.find_each do |model|
if modellist[model.id] > 0 #edited
#if modellist[model.id] != 0
finalModels.push( model )
@models = finalModels
Im leaning towards the second approach, but im not sure. Maybe some insight into how .collect and .reject works to see how efficient it is.
- Edit
My model is called Picture. modellist (or pList) contains data similar to this.
I the index number of pList corresponds to the picture id for this. So i need to find pics where pList[picture id] is greater than 0.
- Edit
Used Benoit Garrets answer. What i had to do was make sure that pList was declared by pList = Hash.new and not pList = []. the exact query i used was
@pictures = Picture.find(pList.select {|k, v| v > 0}.keys)

Plugin does not update when photos are added or deleted from flickr, pointless
Took me a while to work out the Flickr username and API key (yes, you need one even if you're not a developer). but once i plugged them in i added my photostream to my front page and sets to a couple of blog entries and it really is easy and quick and works.
I have been looking for a plugin that works and looks great on mobile and finally found it. This is very easy to implement, the instructions are well written. I have always used NextGen but that doesn't work very well on mobile. A Flickr account and this plugin is definitely the best I have found! Thanks so much
Quite simply the best flickr gallery plugin I've used. [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] would not be success it's been without this plugin, I'm sure!
Simple. Intuitive. Just works out of the box.
exactement ce que je cherchais
I've tried many of the flickr gallery plugins over the last couple of days, and this one works easily and gives a great-looking result. Thank you.
simple, nice, fast and it works, what you need more?
Works perfect, simply the best.
much nice very plugin

Colbert: "If poor people want food stamps, they should become massive corporations."
Welfare is awesome for the wealthy, but not for the poor!
Last Sunday, CBS News' Bob Schieffer confronted Republican Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) on the issue of food stamps, saying, "You pass a farm bill in the House that gives billions of dollars, much of it to large corporations that own farms. It's almost like welfare for the wealthy. But you don't include a dollar for hungry people for food stamps. What kind of message is that?"

While this plugin is nice, the fact that it clutters up the user profile page (even for users that have no post permissions at all) makes it somewhat of a mixed bag.
Is there any plans to update the plugin? If so, could you add a check for user permission level and if the user doesn't have permission to post content, leave the dozens of checkboxes out of the user profile page?
It really makes the profile page alot more confusing to standard users of a site - we've had dozens of users that can't even tell what they are looking at as the entire profile page when first views is a list of checkboxes that have no relevance to their use of the website in question.

Author has written 27 stories for Life, Spiritual, Biography, Young Adult, Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, General, Action, and Supernatural.
What I'm working on right now:
Singing of Silver Wolves- Rianna Thornsgate is 16, a child prostitute controlled by a man named Kaden. This is the story of her and her friends as she struggles to try to go home and face the issues that come with that. ((This includes mature themes. Trigger warnings for rape, drug abuse, depression, and extremely unhealthy/occasionally abusive relationships.)) Read Wolf of the Cosmos's version of this! Silent Talking- The Story of Sasha Patel She is such an incredible writer, and she's done so much for Sasha's character that it's unbelievable. Expect updates two or more times per week.
Down the Garbage Chute- This is a collection of random one-shots, scenes, character profiles, and monologues that I've written down. Nothing extremely serious or plot-cohesive will go here, though I tend to write with an angst-driven plot set, so be prepared for some dark submissions. Trigger warnings for pretty much everything; nothing is predictable. Since much of this will become outdated and I'll view it as my poorer writing, this is my garbage chute.
Things to be rewritten:
Consider basically everything else discontinued or complete.
My favourite people!
Wolf of the Cosmos: Not only is she an excellent author, but she's also a fantastic friend. She and I are currently working on a lot; she has two original stories, one complete and one in the making, and she's also been working on a companion piece for Singing of Silver Wolves, though said companion piece is currently under hiatus.
Nightmare's Apprentice: They're this really amazing author. I've worked on piece after piece with them; we have all sort of companion pieces. So if you want to see a few of my stories from other characters' POVs, you should totally check out their page. If you want to see even better original works that I don't have anything to do with, they're a great shot too! Seriously. They mostly write for scifis, so if you're into that, they're a great person to talk to.
SneakyElf: This bastard is literally my best friend. He hasn't been on fictionpress for quite some time, but he does have the first couple chapters of a few stories up (though if he ever gets back to writing, he'll probably just delete those and restart). He's just a nice guy and all-around wonderful nerd to talk to.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Hormone Therapy for Breast Cancer
In this article
What Are Common Hormone Drugs Used for Breast Cancer? continued...
Anastrozole (Arimidex), letrozole (Femara), and exemestane(Aromasin). These drugs belong to a class of medications known as aromatase inhibitors. After menopause, a woman's main source of estrogen comes through a process called aromatization, in which male hormones called androgens (produced by the adrenal glands located at the top of the kidneys) are converted into estrogen. This process takes place throughout the body, in the fatty tissue. These drugs fight tumor growth by stopping the conversion of androgens into estrogen.
Arimidexwas initially approved for the treatment of advanced (stage IV) breast cancer in women who've gone through menopause and whose cancer has grown despite taking tamoxifen. It has replaced tamoxifen as the first-line therapy for postmenopausal women with hormone-positive stage IV breast cancer. It is also approved as an add-on treatment of early hormone-positive breast cancer in women who are postmenopausal. It is taken in pill form.
Femara is approved for initial or follow-up treatment of hormone-sensitive metastatic breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause. It is also used as add on therapy for early stage breast cancer. It is taken in pill form, once each day. Palbociclib (Ibrance) is a drug approved to be used along with Femara. A low white blood cell count, which should be checked before and during treatment, is the most common side effect of Ibrance.
Aromasin is also taken as a pill. It is used in certain postmenopausal women who have early or advanced breast cancer. If you start taking Aromasin, you would stop taking tamoxifen.
There are other hormone therapy drugs used to treat breast cancer. Most, such as fulvestrant (Faslodex), and toremifene (Fareston) are used to treat metastatic breast cancer.
What Are the Side Effects of Hormone Therapy for Breast Cancer?
The side effects of tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer are similar to symptoms of menopause. The most common side effects are hot flashes, vaginal discharge, fluid retention, and swelling. Some women experience irregular menstrual periods, headaches, fatigue, nausea and/or vomiting, vaginal dryness or itching, irritation of the skin around the vagina, and skin rash. As is the case with menopause, not all women who take tamoxifen have these symptoms. Men who take tamoxifen may experience headaches, nausea and/or vomiting, skin rash, impotence, or a decrease in sexual interest.

Rodent Guys is licensed by the Cal Dept of Fish and Game for trapping animals in Pasadena, California for raccoon, opossums, skunks, tree squirrels, ground squirrels and other wild animals damaging property. Rodent Guys use traps and techniques in accordance with Fish and Game and follow all laws and regulations for wild animal removal in Pasadena California.
Our Pasadena wildlife trapping service is normally performed for Pasadena property owners that are having damage done to their house or landscape. In some cases an animal uses a structure for a birthing place, which is often the case with raccoon. Other times animal damage is caused by the animal foraging for a meal in the grass or even the trash.
Common wild animal removal projects:
- Raccoon removal
- Opossum removal
- Skunk removal
- Tree Squirrel Removal
- Ground Squirrel Removal
- Gopher removal
- Mole removal
Rodent Guys wildlife experts will perform an onsite evaluation to determine possible ways to control the problem. Sometimes this involves removing the animal from the Pasadena property. Other times we can perform alterations to the structure or landscape to help discourage the pests from returning, and in some circumstances both of these remedies will be recommended. We would like for the property owner and/or tenant to be onsite when we arrive for the site evaluation so we can talk about the issues and fixes.
When we perform live animal removal on your Pasadena property we place traps designed to trap the target animal(s). Baits are also used that are known to perform well to attract target pests in conjunction with well-placed traps to ensure the best possible trapping success. The traps must be checked daily by Rodent Guys or the tenant/land owner and trapped animals removed.
Animals in the traps will be removed in accordance with State of California laws. Rodent Guys will initially inspect the area, place traps, bait the traps and remove all trapped animals. Our usual residential live animal trapping program in Pasadena, CA is set up for up to 10 days of trapping with a cost per animal caught and removed.
As part of our trapping services, we will specify which animals are to be removed from the site if trapped in a live animal trap and which animals are released on site. For example, if we are there to trap a raccoon for the Pasadena property and a cat gets caught in the trap and you wish not to have them removed as part of our scope of work, we will then let the animal go at no per animal charge. All pests on the "remove" list will be removed from the property and charged at the per animal charge.
In some cases you may want to remove any animal that is tearing up your grass looking for insects. This includes raccoon, opossum and skunk. If any of these pests are trapped they will be removed and you would be charged the price per animal fee. However, if a squirrel or other non-target animal is caught we would release it with no harm and at no charge to you.
Call Rodent Guys today to find additional information about Pasadena live animal trapping today and see how we can assist you. We are licensed trappers by the California Department of Fish and Game to perform all your trapping needs.
